Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Amanda, from Appleton, MN was beginning to notice that one of her basement walls was beginning to bow, showing signs of wall failure. She was concerned that a bowing wall could mean trouble for the structural integrity of the home. She did research about companies in the area that could service her home and came across our website. She decided to give us a call, and we set her up with our FREE estimate. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ryan P, headed out to the property to see what could be done. After he completed his walkthrough, he was able to recommend a solution to the problem. Ryan wanted to use our PowerBrace system to correct the failing wall. Ryan explained that this system is designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to strengthen walls over time. He went on to say that this system can be tightened over time to make bowing or tilting walls straighter and more vertical. 

Amanda agreed with Ryan's recommendations and work began a few weeks later. Our Foreman, Luis, and his crew ended up installing 5 of our PowerBraces throughout the basement of the home. Now Amanda can enjoy her basement without worries about her foundation being unstable. 

Jerry and Rita B.'s foot corner section of their foundation cracked and sank, causing them to worry about the structural repairs needed to help their home. They found American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist team. Our Design Specialist, Shane, went to their home, carefully inspected their sinking home, and determined the solution of our Helical Piers. Jerry and Rita got all of their questions answered and were confident in the proposal, so they scheduled a date for the install. 

Our Foreman, Cameron, and his team installed six of our Helical Piers to transfer the weight of the home back to its original position.

To complete the installation, Cameron backfilled the soil and ensured the home looked much better than when he found it.

Cailen, a homeowner in Farwell, MN, was concerned with the state of his basement. A failing wall was leaking water into the space. He contacted us because he was afraid that, if left unchecked, the failing foundation would compromise the home's structural integrity and affect the basement's window sills, which could become costly further down the road.

When he called us, we were able to set him up with our FREE estimate, so our Design Specialist, Jesse, headed out to the property to do a thorough inspection of the issue and how we could help fix the issue. When he completed his walkthrough, he recommended using our GeoLock wall anchors. He explained to Cailen that our GeoLock anchors are the ideal solution to permanently stabilize a foundation wall by anchoring the problem wall to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation. Cailen agreed to the work, and the project began shortly after.

Our Foreman, Lane, and crew installed three GeoLock anchors on the wall. These anchors allow minimal disturbance to lawn and landscaping. This system can be tightened over time to further straighten foundation walls and pull them back into their original position, which added further peace of mind. Once the job was finished, Cailen was satisfied that his failing wall worries were in the past! 

Steven T. of Garfield, MN had uneven floors throughout his crawl space, causing him to worry about the stability and safety of his home. He found American Waterworks after doing some research and liked what he saw, so he scheduled a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist went to Steven's home, carefully inspected the uneven floors, and determined the proposal of our Crawl Space Support SmartJack Posts. Steven was confident in the product and its features, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman and his production team installed seven of our SmartJacks, which are made to stabilize and straighten sloping or springy floors. They can support loads of more than 60,000 pounds and they are galvanized (resistance to corrosion). Steven was happy with the work that was completed and had a great experience from start to finish.

Amber D. of Akeley, MN had sagging floors in her home, causing her to worry about the structural integrity of her home. She called our office staff and scheduled a FREE estimate for our Design Specialist, Richie, to come out to her home and inspect the issues she was having. After a thorough inspection, Amber was confident in Richie's proposal of our SmartJacks, so she went ahead and got a date scheduled for the installation.

Our Foreman, Ryan, and his production team installed our SmartJacks to provide solid support to the sagging and undersized beams. By restoring the stability with our SmartJacks, the floor joists were lifted and leveled to ensure straightness throughout the entire home. With time, SmartJacks can be adjusted to ensure it is sticking to its design.
